HUNTER×HUNTER Chapter 407 Spoiler Alert

Chapter 407 begins with Halkenburg’s funeral.
Thousands, even tens of thousands of people are attending the ceremony.
This can be interpreted as thousands or tens of thousands of people paying their respects to Halkenburg.
What this signifies and how it will impact future events is something to look forward to!
Is Borkshin a Compatible Donor!?
In Chapter 407, Borkshin is one of Tserriednich’s facility soldiers!
Who is Borkshin?
- A facility soldier under Tserriednich
- The person who informed Otoshin and others about Nen abilities
- A highly risk-aware individual
The Ei-I Family’s Morena has kidnapped Borkshin!
Why did Morena abduct Borkshin, and why did she try to recruit him?
Morena explains, “To put it simply, you’re like a compatible donor.”
Is Morena trying to revive something? We’ll explore the details of this mystery in a separate article!
The Negotiation Game Between Borkshin and Morena
The scene depicting Borkshin negotiating with Morena of the Ei-I Family unfolds.
Originally, Borkshin’s mission was to “capture Morena,” but considering the difficulty, he decided to change his objective.
This negotiation takes place through a card game proposed by Morena.
Game Overview:
- A two-player game
- Divided into “Parent” and “Child”
Child’s Cards:
The Child holds 5 face-down cards: “YES,” “NO,” “Return,” “Joker,” and “X.”
- Return: Allows the player to choose one card from the graveyard and return it.
- Joker: Can respond as either “YES” or “NO.”
- X: A card that lets the player avoid making a conclusion, effectively canceling the deal.
Parent’s Cards:
The Parent holds 7 face-up cards: “YES,” “NO,” “Objective,” “Power,” “Question A,” “Question B,” and “D.”
- Objective: Reveals Morena’s purpose for inviting Borkshin to join her.
- Power: Provides information about Morena’s abilities.
- Question A: Allows Borkshin to ask as many questions as he wants, which can only be answered with “YES,” “NO,” or “YES or NO.”
- Question B: Explains one of the questions from A in detail until the doubt is resolved.
- D: Lets the player bring back a card from the graveyard if a small request is fulfilled.
Game Procedure:
- The Child selects one card, and the Parent responds, sending the card to the graveyard.
- The Parent then turns one of the Child’s cards face up and sends it to the graveyard.
- Steps 1 and 2 are repeated until one final card remains with the Child, which becomes the conclusion of the negotiation.
The conclusion determines whether Borkshin will join Morena’s side.
The Movements of Chrollo, the Phantom Troupe, and Hisoka
In HUNTER×HUNTER Chapter 407, there were no depictions of Chrollo, the Phantom Troupe, or Hisoka.
However, I have deciphered the Hunter language related to the person Chrollo has been searching for, so here is a summary!
The Person Chrollo is Searching For:
- Ability Name: Cursed Phone
- Woman’s Name: Makugait Narumi
- Ability Information: Uses a conjured cellphone to search for the ideal target. When conditions are entered, a 6-20 digit number is displayed, and dialing the number provides guidance.
The Identity of the Joker
Ou-Ken’i, the young head of the Sha-A Family, is planning to deploy the “Joker” into the conflict between the Phantom Troupe and the Ei-I Family.
The true identity of this “Joker” has not been revealed, leading to widespread speculation among readers.
Since the identity of the Joker has yet to be disclosed, we can only rely on theories.
- Hisoka
This is the most likely candidate. Hisoka harbors a deep grudge against the Phantom Troupe, and the term “Joker” perfectly aligns with his image as a magician.
Additionally, Hisoka is known for causing chaos, making it plausible that he would intervene in the conflict between the Ei-I Family and the Troupe.
- A New Character Related to Chrollo
Given that Chrollo is in search of new Nen abilities, it’s possible that the “Joker” is a new character involved in Chrollo’s plans.
Chrollo may be using this person as part of his preparation for a rematch with Hisoka.
- Kurapika
This is a more far-fetched theory, but there is a chance that Kurapika could appear as the “Joker” for some reason.
While his primary goal is revenge against the Phantom Troupe, if his motives intertwine with the Prince Succession War, he might adopt the codename “Joker.”
At the very least, the “Joker” disrupting the Phantom Troupe is likely a character with a strong grudge or deep resentment toward the Troupe!
Signs of the Phantom Troupe’s Demise
Bonolenov, a member of the Phantom Troupe, has made the statement, “Let’s bring this to an end,” hinting that the dissolution of the Troupe or a major turning point in the story is approaching.
- Bonolenov’s words, “Let’s bring this to an end,” may not only imply the conclusion of the Troupe’s mission but also suggest that trust and shared purpose among the members are beginning to waver.
- A rematch between Chrollo and Hisoka is something both characters desire, making it an inevitable event.
- The Phantom Troupe has long been portrayed as “villains” or “symbols of chaos” within the HUNTER×HUNTER story.
However, with the depiction of their past, the presence of Sarasa, and insights into Chrollo’s true nature, more scenes highlighting their human side have emerged.
Summary
We’ve summarized the content of HUNTER×HUNTER Chapter 407.
The highlights of this chapter are
- Halkenburg’s funeral
- The negotiation game between Borkshin and Morena
- The movements of Chrollo, the Phantom Troupe, and Hisoka
